bad luck today... 403 forbidden error

well, crap.

so, i was in my cpanel file manager, when my computer lagged a bit, and a single click became a drag and click or something of the like... needless to say, my public_html folder got into my mail folder. i moved it right back, but now when i try to go to my page in any way shape or form (admin, subfolders whatever) i get:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at www.customk9design.com Port 80

Re: bad luck today... 403 forbidden error

kobra,

after your post, i started doing some more digging, thanks to you pointing me in the direction of permission settings etc...

i found this post on a filezilla site:
"At a minimum, the public permissions need to be set to 4, otherwise no one can view your pages and images. You do not need write permissions for public or group. That could allow hackers to replace your files.

The default permissions typically are:

644 - images
644 - html scripts
755 - directories"

since my public_html had been set to 750, i changed it back to 755 (i ASSSUME thats what it was before?)
